Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Probably Probably: The normal cervix is about 35mm to 50mm. However a cervix of 25 mm, while considered shortened, is still normal. The shorter cervix may correlate to a greater chance for early delivery, but probably has nothing to do with PPROM.

Dr Fowler and 4 doctors agreed
